Emma Stone teaches Woody Allen how Twitter works – with his own quote

July 15, 2015

Emma Stone can
add social media expert to her many talents.
Woody Allen recently asked the famous
red-head to explain Twitter to him, and she was
more than happy to oblige. "He asked me what Twitter was, basically to explain Twitter to him," Emma told
Conan O'Brien on his show Tuesday night. "I was kind of telling him, you know, 'It's 140 characters and you kind of write these sentences, and I don't understand the point unless you're like a musician and you're sort of advertising a gig or you're a comedian and you're doing one-liners or something.'"

To further explain her point, she brought up a good example. She continued: “I asked him, ‘Do you know who Joyce Carole Oates is?’ He said, ‘Yeah I know her personally, and I said “Of course, because you’re Woody Allen.’ She wrote ‘Tragedy
plus time equals comedy.’ And he goes, ‘That’s my line.’

The
Aloha star joked, “My only
example was his own quote. That’s another reason why he should probably be on Twitter. He’s got a lot of good lines.”

Emma and
Woody recently worked together on the film
Irrational Man, as well as on the
2014 film
Magic in the Moonlight, a mystery caper/romantic comedy that
takes place in the 1920s. The famed director and actor had nothing but praise
for his young star at a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival.

“I saw her
in a movie by accident. I was walking on the treadmill and looking for
something to distract me and then I saw Emma,” Woody said during a press conference. “And she looked beautiful. And then she was very funny in the movie and
I thought to myself, This is someone who would be very interesting to work
with. And I worked with her in the first movie. She was great, absolutely
great. Lived up to all of the hype. . . . So I had no problem thinking of her
for
Irrational Man... she amazed me.”

Irrational
Man
is one of four
films that the hilariously funny actress has coming out in the course of the next two years. And if she wasn't busy
enough with the big screen, she just finished up a three-month stint on Broadway,
playing Sally Bowles in
Cabaret.

“It’s a
tough part,” she told Conan. “It was kind of ridiculous to do a musical eight
times a week for three months when you’ve never done a musical.”

Emma admitted
that she gets as star struck as the rest of us, telling Conan about the time when
actress
Meryl Streep came to watch
Cabaret, lamenting that it was on one
of the nights that she had lost her voice. “She came
back stage and then I just started to cry because I was like,
Meryl Streep is
here and I can’t sing,” she shared.

The
Spiderman
star also revealed that she loves “K-pop” also known as Korean pop music,
describing it as addictive. The 26-year-old actress is notoriously private
about her romantic life and has been linked to fellow Spiderman actor
Andrew Garfield.

"I
never talk about this stuff for this exact reason — because it's all so
speculative and baseless,” she told the WSJ. Magazine in June. “Once you
start responding — once you're like, 'No, that's not true' — then they're like,
'Well, if we push enough, we'll get a comment, so let's see what else we can
make up.'"
